You will learn the fundamentals of safe and effective dramatic combat involving both swordplay and unarmed fighting. You’ll work on developing the tools an actor will need to keep themselves and a partner safe during moments of violence. This course will teach you how to blend text and violence, culminating in a fight scene performance.
This course is suitable for people with no previous stage combat experience or prior British Academy of Dramatic Combat (BADC) qualifications. Upon successful completion you will gain a standard level certification with the BADC.
Russell Eccleston is an instructor with the British Academy of Dramatic Combat and has worked closely with various southwest based theatre companies in bringing their fights to life! Reviews for his work include:
"a baseball bat swinging, throat throttling roller coaster of a heated battle. The fight choreographers made the most of the actors physical abilities to create gripping sequences that the actors appear to relish and offered the audience some well deserved “oo" inducing moments." - Praise for Russell Eccleston's fight choreography in Between The Armies (365 Bristol)
He is excited to be able to bring this course to life and offer actors the chance to expand their skill set and gain an industry recognised qualification.
